In Vietnam, young bloggers are starting a revolution. Bloggers are giving new meaning to journalism... pushing aside the state-run media and giving the Vietnamese new sources of news and information. Meanwhile, here in Davao City, SunStar columnist Dorothy Bangayan did a piece on blogging and blogs focusing on Davao-based blogs. And I'm happy to note that two of my six blogs were mentioned as worthy of being read... MyDavaoCity.com -- This is also another Davao City blog posted by a group of bloggers. It also got a list of small directory going for wifi hotspots and resorts although not yet completely updated. www.shopchicks.com -- The blogger is a fashionista and it shows with posts of the latest styles. This one takes on a new definition of window shopping. My name wasn't mentioned but I don't care. Hehe... Other blogs mentioned were Ang Dabawenyo, Word God Spells, Davao's Food Huntress, Letters to Mikee, Davao Diaries, Mom About Town, Dabawenya, and Jobs For Davao. The article also mentioned the Davao Blogs Aggregator Site, the Mindanao Bloggers Blog, and the upcoming Mindanao Bloggers' Summit. The article actually made me think about making my own top Davao Blogs. Hmmm... might post one soon.

An Educational City Council Session – August 4, 2007
To say that today's Davao City Council Session is interesting would be and understatement. Where else would you learn about the rise of gangsterism, cybertrafficking, the bunchy-top and sigatoka viruses, ten indigenous vegetables, corn farming, and hito raising???

Councilor Rachel Zozobrado filed a resolution to request the Philippine Congress, through Davao City 3rd District Representative Isidro Ungab, to enact a law extensively defining and penalizing cybertrafficking.

Councilor April Dayap inquired why the resolution only addressed the bunchy-top virus and why not also other banana diseases such as the Sigatoka Disease.
